my daily activities saw tremendous changes
i was walking each step consciously
moving my each hand consciously…
standing or sitting with alertness
every single gesture or bodily movement was watched by me
and i became known as the slow motion man
the slow walking man
it was easy and effortless on my part
it was arousing and made me feel intoxicated
every movement became a joy to watch…
the sheer grace it offered
and the very experience of grace was overwhelming
and a gift…it became part of my daily life…of meditativeness
i stopped doing meditations…meditativeness became my life
a relaxed watchful awareness took over my every footstep
my every gesture my every look my way of standing my way
of sitting washing the dishes taking a bath brushing my teeth
zen is a living experience…a way of living meditatively
there is no such thing as meditation for me
only meditativeness exists
i poured all my awareness into these simple daily activities
and slept as much as possible…in a pitch black room
my walking in zen and sitting in zen
started to illuminate all around me
